Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United | PSL 5 - 1st match | 20th February, 2020 | Islamabad innings

this Hussain talat is soo frustrating to watch..
still remember lost a series against south Africa singlehandedly..
& he is still 24 ? foh real?
 
this nasir guy is a clone of saeed ajmal is he a bowler who bats or batter who bowls or just a bowler
 
Talat looks out of touch. Pitch is a bit slow but the outfield and small boundaries will push score over 170
 
Misbah is brainless to pick Talat ahead of Ingram in the batting order
 
Boundaries are actually decent, that what boundaries are in most parts of the world except maybe in Australia
 
Shaheen Naseem and Hasnain would form a formidable pace attack for Pakistan
 
The myth here that there's a lot of talent in Pak is busted on occasions like these.

We have nobody who can play according to 2020 standards.

Only Kami is there as an opener. Who can actually punish the bowlers.

Rest are:
Shehzad
Imam
Jaahid
Fawad Alam
Rizwan
Sarfraz

Etc.

since the dawn of time, no one has ever raved about abundance of batting talent in Pakistan. Stop the non-sense.

I think you've been living under a rock.

Ho

Every other day some unknown youngsta beauty gets hyped.

Daily we hear how bad Kami is and he should not be selected.

Yet when asked what alternatives are there, someone who can punish the bowlers, there's no answer.

People just love to whine and complaint but have no solutions to offer.

Where are the hitters? Who can hit the pacers?
 
Granted it didn't last too long, but Talat played sensibly in his little innings. Rotated the strike decently to give Malan the strike. The same question still poses though, can he switch gears and hit the boundary balls? I won't judge after game 1 of the PSL so let's see how this goes.

So either people are hyping some batting talent OR

they go quiet when asked for a batter who can punish bowlers.

Both can't happen simultaneously. Which one is it?
 
Want to see Ammad Butt come out with 5 overs to go and have a slog. This is his chance to confirm his name for the Wt20.

Someone gets hyped
Gets a chance
Fails

And the cycle repeats.

Just in this match there are several who were hyped to the moon.

Anwar Ali. Was a sensation before he got exposed at intl level.
M Nawaz
Hussain talat (tho not tried much)
Asif Ali
Sarfraz Ahmed
Shehzad

Might be missing more.

And yet the most hated person often appears to be some random old "ttf" who is still better than the other failures.

Anddd here's one more example of another hyped up youngsta beauty who will solve our problems:

Ben Cutting had the potential to be Aussies white ball all rounder. His bowling was really good at the start rather his stronger facet but he is more of a batting all rounder.

He has potential to be the lower order big hitting allrounder we need. He is a good performer in domestic and he has a chance here to prove himself in the PSL. I'm not saying chuck him in right now.
 
ISLU , no need to go into a meltdown.

Still the best team. Chill and play.
 
If Amad Butt is coming down at number 9, he isn't really gonna get a chance to show what he can do in this team under Misbah . . Let's stick with Shadab and Faheem as our allrounders
 
Not an expert on run ups, but surely that Hasnain run up is so awkward . . if he can have a smoother approach to the crease, he can crank up another 2 or 3 km/h of speed
 
Hasnain is not hyped as much as Shaheen, Naseem or Haris but I feel he is right up there with these blokes.

he wont get a chance to bat or bowl as long as the gutter man misbah is there
 
This is what the hype machine does here.

Hyping up nobodies who have never done anything yet.

And abusing those who are actually scoring something.

Anyway I do hope Ammad can score here.

His chance to shine.
